because you’re awesome and we’re nothing without you

Some musicians rely on the money of ‘men in suits’ to further their musical careers. Many bands rely on huge billboards, drinking buddies in the magazine world, big expensive glossy advertisements in magazines, and television propoganda. The Malfated, however, rely on YOU to spread the word so that we can continue to make music. Yes, that’s right - you. Here are some simple ways that you can help to promote The Malfated.
